THE BUZZ: Microsoft wants you to jump into Kinect this holiday, and to help convince you, they’ve put together a new bundle full of fruit, guns, and adventure.

As part of this limited-time bundle, $149.99 will get you one Kinect sensor, a copy of Kinect Adventures, and download codes for digital copies of The Gunstringer and Fruit Ninja Kinect (both of which are games specifically tailored for Microsoft’s motion-sensing camera).

EGM’s TAKE: While it isn’t that bad of a bundle, it also isn’t the super-huge deal that it might seem. The Gunstringer is currently $29.98 on Amazon, and when you buy the game, you get a free copy of Fruit Ninja Kinect along with it. So, if you purchased a Kinect recently and thought you should now regret that purchase, you haven’t missed out on as much value as you might first think.
